Top 20 Winners of Nikon’s 2012 Photomicrography Competition

Nikon recently announced the winners of the 2012 Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition. Now in its 38th year, Nikon Small World is regarded as the leading forum for showcasing the beauty and complexity of life as seen through the light microscope. Competition judges analyzed entries from all over the world covering subjects ranging from chemical compounds to up-close-and-personal looks at biological specimens. This year’s top honors went to Dr. Jennifer Peters and Dr. Michael Taylor of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for their photomicrograph, ‘The blood-brain barrier in a live zebrafish embryo’.

Top images from the 2012 Nikon Small World Competition will be exhibited in a full-color calendar and through a national museum tour. You can also vote for your favorites through November 13.
